India,

The Broadway church contained good
audience again last night, to hear Miss
Sarah Hutchinson lecture upon India.
For an hour and half she held her audi
ence, many of whom had heard her on
tine afternoon and evening previous, with
undated interest. With charming die
ton and rare grace of manner she pre-
sented picture after picture of the home
life of the middle classes in India; of mis-
sionary experiences upon interesting
tours; in the schools, hospitals, zenanas
and mission chapels. 1t combined in 6
rare degree the interesting and the 10,
structiye. and those who heard it received
in the most pleasant form vast amour
of information about the wonderful lanC
of the Vedas Miss Hutchinson is now
preparing herself to return and do medi
cal work in the zensnas of India.

DEAR CAT:
As the spring election is approaching.
and as us women propose to have a voice
in the running of things hereafter.
lust Wa mt to tell you few things in con-
fidence before we begin.
Geo. SAYS Geo. is my big brOther) that
rs women don't know anything about
politics. but what if we don't; we know
lots of other things. and then what's the
use of knowing everything anyway.
Ignorance is just as apt to be power as
knowledge is in these times. and where
ignorance is bliss it's folly to ask the
landlady what she puts in the hash. Pa
saws and if Geo. don't take me out to
lots of concerts and things before election
I'll never vote for him for Wardmaster
or whatever you call it. We girls can
vote lust as well as the men can anyway
and. we could sit on the jury too II
they d tie il down SO it couldn't move.
Geo. says the jury is a sort of goat but
don't believe it, And if we did get on
the Jury we'd have law passed to have
those nasty men stop standing on the
corners all the time. and l told Geo. 1t
was ONLY an accident that men cOul0 vote
and women couldn't anyhow, and he
said YES an accident of brains. the great
horrid thing, and didn't let him kiss me
| for a week to pay for it, either. Blu,
we're going to vote all the same. because
Geo. GoOdsOe says we can, and he knows
because he was elected governor or some
thing and went to Washington. and
! lust think he's awfully nice. and were
going to run Mr.. Buffers for mayor
Guess. for he's just splendid looking and
when people come to town he can sins
or preach Just too awfully nice for any
use. l don't know who else we II vote
| for though Geo. says Andrew jackson 1:
good man, but l don't know him anG
| I'd rather vote for some of the boys who
are nice looking and who will take II,
out to places and treat to lemonade anC
soda water. When We can vote we RI
going to make the First National Bank
hurry up and get that ugly dirt out OF the
street where the cellar for the new bank
is because it is horrid when the wind
blows and just gets everywhere.
| Geo. says that Eustis has twenty seven
land agents and HOxie has hen with
four legs, but we will have Mr.. Buffers
for mayor and Geo Hyatt for one Of the
city fathers and we'll put on just as much
style as they will. you see if we don't.
I've heard that that mean thing. Susy
johnson, wants to be elected to some
| tnlng. IL just ulc UcIO1C WV AO'
her. Why last fall when | got my new
hat she went and got one just like it only
with bigger feather in. | just hate her
the stuck up thing. and she's always run,
ming around with Mike McGreevey OF
some of the boys too.
I'm in an awful hurry for the time to
come to vote, for I think it will be toe
funny for anything to put ticket in the
hat, Just like man, when they pass il
around. Geo. wrote a verse in my album
about it but l don't think it's bit nice,
it's this:
slope for a season blew her nose and fioated
And Freedom shrieked as Colby women voted
Well good bye Mr.. CAT. if l think OF
anything more important about politics
I'll write you again.

The statement Of the financial condition of
the First National Bank of Colby appeared in
a late issue of tt e CAT and the statement was
a very fiattering one both to the bank and to
the whole county on account of the large
volume of business it is doing in this frontier
county. Our attention was call to it this week
by a remark made by enc of our readers to
the effect that the bank would not probably
make so good report if part of the stock
holders should withdraw their stock, thus re-
ducing the capital stock. Many people do not
stop to think that this cannot be done. The
$4,000 in stock after being once subscribed
and paid in (which must be done within sixty
days after opening business) can never be
withdrawn during the lifetime of the institu-
zion. Stock may be transferred but never
drawn out. The government satisfies itself by
special agents and bank experts that the
amount of capital stock published has been
actually paid into the institution in cash in
the beginning, and then its after investiga-
tons are devoted to other details of the bust.
ness for the protection of its depositors.
Under the national banking laws a national
bank must publish sworn statements of its
condition as often as called upon by the q. s.
comptroller of the currency and submit to
thorough and rigid examination by govern
ment bank experts at different times during
the year and the bank never knows when
these visits are to be made.
These facts account in part at least for the
rareness of insolvency of national banks and
gives them the high place in the confidence of
the people which they hold to-day. A bank
which does not publish reports of its condi-
ton may advertise what it pleases, but =
national bank can not advertise a capital
stock paid up larger than is actually paid in
to the institution in cash.
